Now all I have to do is write it

Finally, a beautiful morning in England. It's been raining and chilly then September came and all is right with the world. It's glorious today. I went out early to cycle around the pond at the university near me. No one was around yet, just ducks, geese and birds and the morning sunshine. After my ride, I cycled to the bakery to get some freshly baked bread then went to the greengrocer and bought beautiful Victorian plums. The apples are beginning to fall from the trees in my back yard so I'm going to make a fruit crumble this afternoon.

Back home and made a couple of sandwiches for my husband to take with him to London. He has an audition for a game show today. Fingers crossed. I couldn't find my daughter's lucky troll, and the anti-evil eye bracelet I brought back from Istanbul had chewing gum all over it (my daughter left it in her bag with sweets that melted on it) so I was casting around for something lucky to put in his pocket.

I remembered the Victorian locket my friend Elizabeth had sent me years ago. I put tiny pictures in each side of the kids at their cutest (2 and 6 years old). Perfect. I tucked that into my husband's jacket along with some of his favorite Fruit Pastilles.

And now I have to get started on my book. I signed a contract this week with a publishing house to write a book about Agile methodologies for project management so I'd better get to work. You see how hard I'm working on it since the first thing I did was go into the blog instead of working on an outline.
